President Stanford's report OF the
business of the Southern Pacific Com
pany for the year 1886, says the San
Francisco Post, is q story Of continued
prosperity. Considering the long rate
war and the savage cuts on trans,on.
t~inental charges, it would not have been
surprising if the roads had barely met
expenses. But the increase of traffic,
both through and local, was SO immense
that the gross earnings were greater in
1856 than in 1885, and the net earnings
showed only a slight decline. The total
earnings of the Pacific system last year
were $2l, 400, 500 66 against SIG, 1851, 400
in 1885, while the profits were $40, 1885,
2O2 So against $40, 7l2, $50 SO. The
local freight carried increased by one.
fourth and the through freight by one.
half. The number of East.bound pas.
sengers nearly doubled, and the number
bound West increased by more than so
per cent.
This showing is conclusive proof OF
the good policy of low rates. The ex.
pertinent Of reducing charges could
hardly have been tried under worse con.
ditions. The rate war was q wild
scramble, in which tariffs were slashed
without regard to any scientific principle.
Yet the the struggle has made hardly a
ripple on the surface of railroad pros
perity. If, instead Of the panicky
massacre of rates, there had been a
deliberate and judicious revision, the
profits would doubtless have shown q
satisfactory growth.
The company is evidently learning the
lesson. The new local passenger schedule
is carefully constructed, and will be
beneficial both TO the public and the
railroad. The average reduction through
out the State is nearly % per cent. In
some portions it is much more. In the
south reductions of 80 to SO per cent are
not uncommon. The resident OF Los
Angeles can 60 almost anywhere else in
the State at a rate averaging 20 per cent
less than he has been charged heretofore.
The new fare sheet has come just at
the right time to preserve friendly rela-
tions between the railroad and the pub.
lie. The attempt to obstruct the work
Of the Pacific Railroad Commission and
the small trouble in the matter of Oak.
land Communication tickets have had a
very unpleasant effect. II the new
policy is carried out in good faith, pub.
lie hostility will be checked and Presi.
dent Stanford's next report will be still
more encouraging than the present one.

DROWNED IN THE HARBOR.

Theodore Greifzu Goes Bathing, is
 Taken With Cramps and Goes Down
 In Sight of a Companion Who Makes
 No Effort to Save Him-The Body
 Washed Ashore and Recovered.
 Theodore Greifzu, of No. 122 George street, was drowned in the harbor while in bathing Sunday evening. He and companion nam ed Andrew Kaberle went down the harbor in one of Austin's boats intending to enjoy 8 bath at the sand bar near the watch house in the harbor.
 They had not been in the water but five minutes when Greifzu was suddenly seized with cramps. He cried to his companion for help, but Kaberle could not swim and he had not presence of mind enough to row over to his drowning friend. He clambered back into the boat and cried for help. His cries awoke the watchman in the watch house on the bar and he came to the door of the house. In answer to his questions the watchman re- ceived no reply from Kaberle, who continued to alternately sob and cry for help, and thinking it was some drunken persons the watchman returned to his couch. Kaberle sat there in the boat all night, not knowing enough to row over to the watch house for assistance or to return to this city and report the accident. Yesterday morning the watch man found Kaberle sleeping in the boat. Greifzu was 8 prominent member of Court Hermann, A. O. F., and several other Ger man societies and was an ex-member of the Schillerbund Singing society. He leaves g wife, who is now in a delicate condition, and five small children, the eldest of whom is not over nine years of age.
